Land reforms, bataidari' tops Left agenda by Arun Kumar

The newly floated Left Front, comprising CPI, CPM and CPI-ML (Liberation), is contesting the state assembly polls on the plank of land reforms and "bataidari (sharecropping)".

The leaders of the three parties made a joint appeal to the people at the Janshakti Bhawan here on Sunday to vote for Left candidates in view of the fact that the Congress, RJD and NDA had failed to deliver the goods.

CPI national executive member Upendra Nath Mishra, state council member Vijay Kumar, CPM state secretary Vijaykant Thakur, CPI-ML state secretary Nandkishore Prasad and CPI-ML central committee member Dhirendra Jha issued the joint appeal.

CPI-ML leader Prasad said that the Left Front was the lone political group to raise the issue of land reforms and "bataidari" in the ensuing state assembly elections.

Mishra, Thakur and Prasad conceded that the two issues were on top of the Left agenda. However, when they were asked whether they would like this assembly polls to be treated as a referendum on the land reforms and "bataidari" issue, they chose to ignore the query.

The Left appeal claimed that the 40 years of Congress rule, 15 years of Janata Dal-RJD rule and five years of JD(U)-BJP rule in the state miserably failed to change the face of Bihar and, as such, the people of the state should rethink and make all the Left candidates victorious.

Incidentally, the Left has fielded candidates on a total of 187 of the 243 assembly seats and is fighting against each other on 18 seats. The CPI-ML (Liberation) is fighting against CPI nominees on 17 seats and CPM on one seat.

They dismissed the NDA's claim of development in the last five years, pleading that during the period, neither any industry was set up in the state nor any closed unit was revived. Even on the agriculture front, not a single canal system was introduced, said CPI NEC member Mishra. "The NDA government's record on power generation and supply, creation of jobs and on law and order front was also dismal," CPI-ML secretary Prasad said.

CPM secretary Thakur said that development, which was visible during the NDA rule, was only on the front of corruption. Loot by contractors, builders, corrupt politicians, black marketeers, hoarders, commission agents and goons was the hallmark of the NDA rule in the last five years, he said.
